The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 280, seeks to amend section 14-145b of the general statutes to allow the owner of a towed vehicle, or their authorized representative, to use the vehicle's certificate of title as proof of ownership. This change is intended to facilitate the process of regaining possession of a towed vehicle specifically for the purpose of towing it to another location.

The bill introduces new legal language that permits the use of the vehicle's certificate of title as acceptable proof of ownership, while no existing legal language is deleted from current law. The primary goal of this amendment is to streamline the process for vehicle owners who need to retrieve their vehicles from towing companies.
